Philosophy That Works
“Consume a variety of foods balanced
by a moderate intake of each food.”
 Variety

– Choose different foods

Balanced
– Do not overeat any single type of food

Moderation
– Control portion size
Nutrient Density
 Nutrient
Dense
– Comparison of vitamin and mineral
content with number of kcals
 Empty
calories
Comparison of Nutrient Density
Energy Density
 Comparison
of kcal content with
weight of food
 High-energy-dense foods
 Low-energy-dense foods
States of Nutritional Health
Desirable Nutritional Health
 Intake
meets body’s needs
 Body has a small surplus
Undernutrition
 Intake
is below body’s needs
 Surpluses are depleted
 Health declines
 Metabolic processes slow or stop
 Subclinical deficiency
 Clinical symptoms
Overnutrition
Intake exceeds body’s needs
 Short term

– Few symptoms

Long term
– Serious conditions
– Obesity
Abuse of supplements

Measuring Nutritional State

Assessment:
– Anthropometric
– Biochemical
– Clinical
– Dietary
– Environmental
Measuring Nutritional State
Limitations of Nutritional
Assessment
 Delayed
symptoms and signs
 Symptoms due to different
causes
Healthy Habits to Adopt
Consume a healthy diet
 Control your weight
 Drink alcohol in moderation (optional)
 Exercise > 30 minute a day
 Don’t smoke

Note: Bars show average intakes for all individuals (ages 1 or 2 years or older, depending on the data source) as a percent of the
recommended intake Ievel or limit. Recommended intakes for food groups and limits for refined grains and solid fats and added sugars
are based on amounts in the USDA 2000-calorie food pattem. Recommended intakes for fiber, potassium, vitamin D, and calcium are
based on the highest AI or RDA for age 14 to 70 years. Limits for sodium are based on the UL and for saturated fat on 10% of calories.
The protein foods group is not shown here because, on average, intake is close to recommended levels.

Portion Sizes
Health Messages

Balancing calories
– Enjoy your food, but eat less
– Avoid oversized portions

Foods to increase
– Make half your plate fruits and vegetables
– Make at least half your grains whole
– Switch to skim or 1% milk

Foods to reduce
– Choose foods with lower sodium
– Drink water instead of sugary drinks
MyPlate
Not for children under the age of 2
 Variety is the key
 Each food is deficient in at least one
essential nutrient
 Calorie and nutrient content may vary
within a food group

Limitations of MyPlate
Does not address the types of foods to
choose within each group
 Shows how to build a healthy plate at
mealtime, but does not address total
diet
 Access to information maybe limited

Standards For Food Labeling
DRIs are gender and age specific
 FDA developed the Daily Values
 Generic standard used on food
labels
 Allow for comparison

